Editing is Supremely Difficult
I'm a pretty new user of Chordify, and a Premium user. While I am absolutely thrilled with the app's ability to "get close" to the chords in the song and know that it is enormously difficult to obtain 100% accuracy due to the dynamic nature of the songs, and I appreciate the ability to Edit a given song to make some fixes, it is ENORMOUSLY difficult to edit those songs. I have a whole list of things that are difficult and very non-obvious:
You cannot change a minor to a major chord by simply typing the first letter. Try changing Gm->G and it refuses to change it. You must type Gmaj and enter. It took a while to realize I needed to do that. I don't see why simply typing a G by itself couldn't replace the Gm.
Filling in a missing chord frequently deletes chords downstream from it. This is maddening. I fill in a missing one, and it deletes one lower in the music that I have to replace. Then THAT deletes one after it.
Sometimes a chord just simply refuses to be entered. In the screenshot- it originally was a Gm. I tried typing Gmaj and it disappeared. What is weird is that I can change it to ANY other chord- a C, an F, a Gmaj7- all of those will take. But then if I go back and type G or Gmaj, it goes blank. It simply refuses to put the chord that I want.
Those are the bugs... I also was going to try a Copy, but there is no indication of how to Paste, and copy without paste is quite worthless. Ctrl-V does not work. And if I highlight the range below the copied cells, it just displays "Copy" again.
So to restate- I really love Chordify and it is taking me to the next level in my learning to play guitar journey. I like unusual songs that are not always easily available. The song above is Sea Legs by the Shins. The orignal is quite full of errors- and Chordify got me close enough to mostly master playing it, but I constantly make mistakes as I have to memorize all the errors and remember to not play those. That is why I decided to try Edit, but though I eventually got MOST of the edits done (using a Tab from Ultimate Guitar as guidance), I never could add that circled blank spot above. And while I did fetch what is likely to be corrected chords from Ultimate, the fact that Chordify has the Play-along player with actual YouTube videos that has helped me tremendously, is why I will stay loyal to Chordify. But, the app could be much improved in the User Interface- particularly the Edit feature.

I don't have a remedy but was just curious as to how you got a screen shot onto this message. Thanks
I tried to upload a screenshot but was unable to. I guess I need a fifth grader to teach me how to use the internet.. ha

From what I have seen, the app must be in maintenance mode... I've gotten no response from the developers. I haven't tried edit since I posted this a year ago.
Sorry I didn't wee your post @roadhiker. You have to save the screenshot first, then click on the image icon in the post and select the file or hte photo from your gallery, depending on if you are on a device or laptop/desktop.
